Golson, a four-star member of Ole Miss’ heralded 2013 recruiting class, decided to leave Ole Miss in April to be closer to his sick grandparents. For the native of Prattville, Ala., Auburn — about an hour’s drive away — made the most sense. Golson will be eligible to play for Auburn in 2015, but will have to pay his way through school in 2014.

As a freshman with Ole Miss, Golson played 12 games as a reserve at right guard in 2013 and very well could’ve started at right tackle in Oxford this fall. Rated as the No. 8 tackle and No. 118 overall player in the recruiting class of 2013, Golson should provide a nice boost to Auburn’s offensive line in a year and a half.

Wonder why the young man did not request a hardship transfer? Also surprised Mississippi would grant a release to allow a transfer to another SEC school.

Plane I don’t think Ole Miss needed to give him his release in this situation, as he isn’t taking a scholarship at Auburn. Pretty sure that has to be why he is walking on. Not 100% on this but I believe this to be true
